Making a surprise appearance
in The SCOAN, Nollywood superstar Jim Iyke entered quietly and
unannounced, joining worshippers from around the world as they listened
to the inspiring message from renowned Prophet
T.B. Joshua.
As The SCOAN’s Wise Men moved through the congregation in prayer, the
lightning of God located Iyke and he was no longer able to control
himself. Lunging towards one of the Wise Man as if to attack him, an
evil spirit that had been tormenting the life of Jim Iyke manifested!
The congregation in the auditorium and the overflow congregations
shouted in surprise as they began to witness the deliverance of a man
they were all too familiar with.
Jim Iyke, born James Ikechukwu Esomugha, is currently one of the
highest paid actors in the Nigerian movie industry and cultivated the
name “Nollywood bad boy” for himself. As one of the most successful
actors in Nollywood, he has starred in over 150 films to date. He has
launched his own film production unit, “Untamed Productions” and his own
music label, “Untamed Records” with his very own album, “Who Am I?” He
is also founder of “Jim Iyke Foundation”, contributing funds to children
of the less privileged and children with physical challenges.
Among his movie awards are:
The Teenage Choice Award,
Best Actor In Nigerian Entertainment Award,
African
Achievement Award, Best Actor of the Year (Mode Men Award 2010),
Sexiest Man In Nigeria 2008, Best African Actor (NET Awards).
The evil spirit that had tormented the life of Jim Iyke for so many
years began to manifest, confessing that it was the cause of Iyke’s
setback and disappointment. It confessed that it was the reason he could
never marry, stating that it would not allow him to love anyone. It
continued confessing that Iyke was the biggest and that it was only
God’s grace that had kept him. As the evil spirit inside him struggled
to attack the Wise Man, the supremacy of the Holy Spirit continued to
overpower it.
The deliverance continued but the battle was not against flesh and
blood; it was against the spiritual entities that had been causing
crisis in his life, family, health, career and future.
To the jubilation of the congregation, the name of Jesus Christ
prevailed over the evil spirit and Jim Iyke received his freedom.
Overwhelmed with what had just happened, Iyke immediately knelt in God’s
presence, appreciating His Creator for his miraculous deliverance.
The humility demonstrated by Jim Iyke in submitting himself to the
power of God should prompt others in his industry to make the same
life-saving choice.
